Make me an offer, interesting offers encouraged.

When I was a kid, my dad and I built this together. It was the first thing we built together. He hoped we would use it together, dad was a big hunter so it was painted a green camo color. I never really developed an interest in hunting like my brother so the boat ended up in Ohio with him for the past 30 years.

 

A few years ago after my dad's passing, the boat made its way back to me. It's just been sitting in a corner of my yard and I'd like to have someone enjoy it with their kid(s).

 

So if you have a kid or two and think you'll use it, make me an interesting offer. Having dad's dream fulfilled is my primary interest.

 

Note: It always had oars here in NY so it was never registered here. Any form of motor in NY will require registering it as homemade.

Slightly curved, I think the bottom is about 8' since we made it from a couple sheets of marine plywood. Overall length is probably about 8 1/2 feet with bow and stern angle overhang.
